What is the safest way of killing or scaring way rats off my street? I have 3 dogs that always touch everything and was wondering if there is a way to get rid of rats with out harming my pets.

Give Environmental Health a ring. they should come and sort the problem for free if they are on public accessways.

Terriers, like Jack Russels, were specifically bred to be ratters, and have a natural inclination to do just that: some need encouragement (hold their head in their direction, saying enthusiastically "ROVER, get the rat!" can work, but they are best taught with a dead rat on a string, or by seeing another dog in action). Traps usually only work once in a given location, Ratsak, in sheltered places, where they hide (but children or pets can't get to), can get more.

Best way is the clean the area up, poison could kill your dogs. You might try a strong air rifle.

You can get bait boxes that are safe for cats, dogs, and kids. Pest control people use them all the time. You can get them at a farm supply store.

Dry ramien noodles...they eat them and then the noodles swell in their stomach and they die. That's the only use for those things.
